Auburn Block Party

We went with some of our friends to the Auburn Block Party downtown last Friday night and had a great time. Alan had fun listening to the band, playing with his friends and running (while Mommy & Daddy chased him).

Trucks

Alan is getting to the stage where he LOVES trucks and ANYTHING that even remotely looks like a ball. He is all boy for sure. So here he is with one of his favorite things, his firetruck.

Pancakes and such...

This little guy has quite the appetite now and he has definitely learned what REAL food is. He has pancakes most every morning for breakfast and he also is really starting to really like chicken nuggets and fries (i know these things are not so nutitious for him) but we sneak some veggies & fruit in every now and then.

"Mom can I have another pancake, please"

Alan's 1st Day of Preschool

This week was this lil guy's first day of preschool and he did GREAT so far!!! He has gone 2 days and has really seemed to like it. On his second day he didn't even cry when I left him (so he must be having fun) and when I pick him he is so tired he barely makes it home to take a nap.

I was also very proud of myself that I didn't cry when I dropped him off, but it helped me that he did so good.

Meeting Alan's Teacher's

Aunt Abi and I took our lil man to meet his preschool teachers on August 18 and he was happy and glad to see everybody. He immediately wanted me to let him down so he could play and get into things, just like home. We already knew 3 of the children in his class so we were excited and we are meeting lot's of new friend's everyday that we go.

Back to School Concert

A few weeks ago our friends/neighbors called us to see if we wanted to join them for the "Back to School Concert in the Park" in Opelika so we did and we all had a blast. We got to ride the train, dance, eat ice cream and ALL of the children got balloons which was very exciting too. Alan wasn't to sure about the train at first but then I think he really liked it.

17 Months and Walking

This blog post is ALMOST a month late but better late than never, he started walking right after he turned 17 months and he has not stopped ( he is practically running now). He weighs 24 lbs. 5 ozs. Jack and I are still so proud of this wonderful gift from God he is such a joy and makes us laugh everyday. He is not really trying to talk that much but he sure knows what he wants like he will walk to his bathroom when its time for his bath, he goes to the garage when we ask him if he wants to go bye bye, he know were to look for his snacks & juice and what snack to point to (that he wants at that time).

Mommy & Daddy love you and can't believe that you are almost 1 1/2
